The Israeli army carried out an airstrike on the Tamun town in the West Bank province of Tubas, killing 10 people.
It was reported that the deceased and injured were brought to the Tubas Turkish Hospital.
“As part of our operation in the northern West Bank, an air force aircraft, under the direction of Shin Bet intelligence, carried out an attack targeting an armed cell,” said the joint statement by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the domestic intelligence agency Shin Bet.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a stern warning to the UK, Germany, and France, accusing them of making a “new strategic mistake” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. In a social media post, Arakchi said, “Iran will give a tough and determined response to the violation of its rights,” criticizing the European trio for backing a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors.
Arakchi condemned the move as baseless, recalling past disputes in 2005 which led to the expansion of Iran’s uranium enrichment. “Have these three really not learned any lessons in the last twenty years?” he said.
Meanwhile, the IAEA reported on May 31 that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile had grown from 274.8 kg in February to 408.6 kg by May 17. In response, the UK, Germany, and France are reportedly preparing to refer Iran’s file to the UN Security Council, which could activate the “snapback” mechanism and reimpose UN sanctions.
